“…In our results, the final mode of delivery proved to be significant in the domains of Professional support, Perceived safety, Participation, and overall CEQ score. Women with spontaneous vaginal delivery reported lower satisfaction, which differs from the results of Boie et al (2020), andDencker et al (2010), who found that women with spontaneous delivery were more satisfied with childbirth. In our study, the final mode of childbirth was significant in the Perceived safety domain in women after surgical delivery, who reported lower satisfaction with childbirth.…”

Aim: The study aimed to determine childbirth experience and the overall satisfaction of women with childbirth and its related socio-demographic and obstetric factors. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: We used the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) on a sample of 161 primiparous women. Results: Total mean CEQ score was 49.78 (SD = 6.02). The best-rated domain was the Perceived safety domain at 2.66 (± 1.90). The worst-rated domain was the Professional support domain at 1.66 (± 1.30). Regarding childbirth satisfaction, the mode of delivery proved to be a related factor, with the highest level of childbirth satisfaction in women after surgical delivery. Conclusion: Providing quality care and creating a positive experience that can contribute to overall birth satisfaction should be a common target of healthcare professionals in caring for parturient women. In order to create a positive childbirth experience, it is necessary to pay increased attention to the management of labor pain relief, to improving the professional support provided by midwives (i.e., through a more sensitive approach to mothers), to promoting the active participation of the mother during childbirth, and to supporting spontaneous vaginal delivery.

Background: The childbirth experience has significant effects on the life of the mother and family. However, there are no Iranian studies which evaluate and measure women's childbirth experiences to provide accurate data on this important matter. The aim of this study is to develop a new guideline to improve women's childbirth experiences by meeting their needs and expectations. Methods/design: The present study will use the mixed method with the explanatory sequential approach. Phase one is a cross-sectional survey with random cluster sampling of the health centers in Tabriz. Eight hundred primiparous women will be selected to measure their childbirth experiences and predictors factors. Phase two is a qualitative study to explore women's perceptions of the aspects and determinants of the childbirth experience. Phase two participants will be selected using purposive sampling from the women who participated in phase one. Phase three involves developing a new guideline to improve women's childbirth experiences. The new guideline will be developed based on the following elements: a) the results of the qualitative and quantitative data from phase one and two, b) a review of the related literature, and c) expert opinions that have been collected using the Delphi technique. Discussion: By exploring women's childbirth experiences and the influencing factors, a culturally sensitive evidence-based guideline can be developed. The provision of the evidence-based guideline resulting from this study might be effective in improving the quality care of the services for pregnant women.

“…Item ratings are aggregated to scale scores by summing the coded values of the items in each scale and dividing by the number of items in that scale; higher scores indicate a more positive childbirth experience [20, 21]. Based on the Terwee’s criteria (a quality criteria’s checklist for measurement properties of health field scales), the CEQ-2 psychometric properties quality score has been shown to be a suitable tool for clinical studies [25] and it has been translated into many languages such as Spanish [26], Malaysian [27] and Danish [28].…”

BackgroundAssessing women’s childbirth experiences is a crucial indicator in maternity services because negative childbirth experiences are associated with maternal mortalities and morbidities. Due to the high caesarean birth rate in Iran, measuring childbirth experience is a top priority, however, there is no standard tool to measure this key indicator in Iran. The aim of present study is to adapt the “Childbirth Experience Questionnaire 2.0” to the Iranian context and determine its psychometric characteristics.MethodsChildbirth Experience Questionnaire 2.0 was translated into Farsi. A total of 500 primiparous women, at 4 to 16 weeks postpartum, were randomly selected from 54 healthcare centres in Tabriz. Internal consistency and reliability was calculated using the Cronbach’s Coefficient alpha and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, respectively. Construct validity was assessed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and discriminant validity using the known-group method and the Mann-Whitney U-test.ResultsThe internal consistency and reliability for the total tool were high (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.93; Intraclass Correlation Coefficient = 0.97). Explanatory factor analysis demonstrated the adequacy of the sampling (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin = 0.923) and significant factorable sphericity (p < 0.001). Confirmation factor analysis demonstrated acceptable values of fitness (RMSEA = 0.07, SRMSEA = 0.06, TLI = 0.97, CFI > 0.91, x 2/ df = 4.23). Discriminatory validity of the tool was confirmed where the CEQ score and its subdomains were significantly higher in women who reported having control over their childbirth than women who did not.ConclusionThe Farsi version of the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire 2.0 tool is a valid and reliable tool and can be used to measure the childbirth experience in Iranian women.
